Two pilots were wounded by a woman in an attempt to hijack a regional domestic flight in New Zealand Friday, the Associated Press reports.

The woman was carrying a knife and stabbed the two pilots, and also threatened to blow up the 19-seat Jetstream J32, which had on board four New Zealanders, an Australian and an Indian national, and was traveling from the provincial town of Blenheim to Christchurch.

Apparently the woman wanted to go to Australia, which was not in the Jetstream aircraft’s range.

The two wounded pilots managed to land the plane safely in Christchurch. Police arrested the woman on the airport runway and evacuated the six passengers.

Christchurch police Commander Dave Cliff said that the attacker claimed that there were two bombs on the plane. The police officers searched the plane and the luggage, but found no explosives. The airport was closed for nearly three hours.

One of the pilots had severe cuts to the hand, while the other one had wounds to the foot, Cliff said. A passenger who intervened was slightly wounded.

The 33-year-old woman, who was not named by the police, is originally from Somalia. She was charged with attempted hijacking, wounding and other offences, the Associated Press reports, and she will appear in court in Christchurch on Saturday, police says. In New Zealand the maximum sentence for hijacking is life imprisonment.

According to the Guardian Unlimited, a taxi driver, who took the woman to the airport in Blenheim, from which the aircraft took off, told Newstalk ZB, that “She was very nervous, very unsure of where she wanted to go for a while and what she wanted to do. It was a very strange ride.”

AFP reports that Air New Zealand said in a statement soon after the incident that it would review its security system.

“Today's incident, although a one-off, has naturally given us cause to conduct a thorough review of our safety and security systems and processes on regional domestic flights,” said Air New Zealand's general manager of short-haul airlines, Bruce Parton.
